5 Common Reasons To Hire A Mobile Crane (Homeowners)
Most people think that crane hire is reserved for large construction companies working on big building projects. Though that may be true for tower cranes, mobile cranes are compact yet powerful lifting machines that are designed to lift large and heavy objects quickly and accurately, even when space is limited.
While extremely useful on a commercial job site, mobile cranes are also regularly used to perform lifts on residential properties, making light work of shifting unwieldy objects such as pool shells, hot tubs, shipping containers, air conditioning units, granny flats, and large sheds.
Mighty Cranes offers affordable mobile crane hire in Brisbane for both domestic and commercial lifts, with a versatile fleet of cranes and sour skilled team of experienced crane operators. Whether you’re installing a backyard pool or you need an old shed removed from your property, Mighty Cranes has the solution. Call us today on 0477 000 976 for all of your home crane hire needs.
5 Common Reasons To Hire A Mobile Crane
1) Pool Installations
One of the most common reasons for homeowners to hire a mobile crane is to install a backyard pool. Installing a pool is a great way to make use of your backyard and increase the value of your property. However, most pools are far too large to move around the side of a house, let alone how heavy they may be. This is where crane hire comes in.
With astonishing lifting capacity and maneuverability, mobile cranes can be used to easily lift your pool shell into place, whether over a fence, garage, or even right over your house. Mighty Cranes make pool installations easy with stress-free lift and shift services. We will take care of everything from traffic management and local permits to cable disconnections if needed to ensure that your pool installation goes off without a hitch.
2) Spas Relocation
Hot tubs and swim spas are large and extremely heavy, making them almost impossible to lift and move into place without the use of heavy machinery such as a mobile crane. Purchasing a new hot tub is an exciting process, however, most companies will only deliver your new spa to your driveway, leaving you to figure out how to shift it into your chosen location.
Hiring a mobile crane to relocate your spa into place will ensure that your new hot tub is accurately positioned in the desired spot without becoming damaged in the process, whether it be over a shed or fence or even onto a balcony. Additionally, if you decide to move or sell your spa, a mobile crane will make easy work of lifting it back off of your property to be transported.
3) Moving Shipping Containers
With their many uses, from offices, living spaces, storage areas, and more, mobile cranes are increasingly being used to move shipping containers onto and around residential properties. Specifically designed with corner castings for cranes to easily load, stack, and unload shipping containers, when it comes to domestic shipping container lifts, mobile crane hire is the obvious choice.
Mobile cranes are particularly useful for shifting a shipping container into place where space is limited and it cannot be transported at ground level. Additionally, unlike other forms of transport, cranes have a greater lifting capacity that is sufficient to shift larger shipping containers as well as containers that carry loads such as stored goods or furnishings.
4) Air Conditioning Unit Lifts
In the sub-tropical climate of Brisbane, air conditioning is an essential. Most HVAC units are incredibly heavy and difficult to transport, especially for complex installations where the outdoor unit may be housed on a balcony, wall mounted, or even on the roof.
Mobile crane hire can be used to quickly and easily move air conditioning units into place, making short work of HVAC installations where several units need to be lifted into place. The Mighty Cranes team has years of experience lifting air conditioning units into place in tight access areas and tricky locations. If you’re looking for a reliable way to ensure that your new air conditioning system is installed safely and in one piece, Mighty Cranes is the team to call.
5) Granny Flats & Sheds
Another common use for mobile cranes on residential properties is for shifting granny flats and sheds. Granny flats and sheds come in a variety of shapes, weights, and sizes and are often far larger than the gap between your house and your neighbour’s property.
Specifically engineered to safely shift large and heavy objects, mobile cranes are the number one choice to safely lift or relocate a granny flat or shed. Ensuring that you have the right crane for the lift is an essential step that is dependent on the size and weight of the granny flat, as well as the location of the lift and the ground condition.
Mighty Cranes has a versatile fleet of cranes, including franna, all-terrain, and rough terrain cranes for all of your domestic crane hire needs. Call us today on 0477 000 976 for a free quote and comprehensive lift plan.
